Moulden Wins NASR Victorian Driver of the Year Award                                         11-8-08

Female Formula 500 hard charger ‘Miss’ Jessica Moulden recently took out the NASR Victorian Driver of the Year award and also pocketed a nice $5,000 for her troubles in the process.

Moulden was quite shocked to hear her name read out as the overall winner representing the Formula 500 category.

“It was a huge shock to me that I actually won the award, I knew I had done well throughout the season but I didn’t believe that I could have won it,” she expressed.

With three other categories also included in the awards, Moulden managed to secure the award by taking home three wins and a second, to beat Matthew Reed (Sprintcars), Jack Lee (Junior Sedans) and Lenny Bates Jnr (Crash ‘n’ Bash). The Competition consisted of four classes, each racing at four tracks and the most points amassed at the end won the overall prize.

'’This program is a great initiative by NASR Victoria and I’m very honoured to be the inaugural winner,’’ the 20-year-old added.

With next season quickly coming around, Moulden is aiming to build on last season’s success.

“My main focus is to concentrate on the upcoming season, as I will be contesting the Oval Express Series once again and this time it would be nice to finish on the podium overall after last season I finishing in sixth place,” declared Moulden.

“In terms of my equipment it will be pretty much the same, just a few improvements here and there, and if I can build on last season’s results, then I will be very happy, because I know it will be hard work.”

‘Miss’ Jessica Moulden would like to thank the following sponsors for their support throughout the 2007/08 season: Race Shirts 4 U, Swift Racing Products, Jettco Developments, McDonald Excavations, Mt. Noorat Freighters – Terang, Warrnambool Powder Coating, Trueline and everyone else that helped out during the season.
